I usually like to get people in because I don't have a band or anything. In cities where I have friends, I try to get them to come out and dance for me.

I love a lot of very sentimental music, but I shouldn't necessarily be the person who makes it.

If you tell someone you're doing something innovative, they'll think you're doing something innovative.

I have a lot of Japanese friends: I grew up in Vancouver, and there's this huge Japanese population over there.

The most valuable live thing for me is when people look like they're having a good time.

Whenever I'm making music I'm always waiting for the shivers to happen - that's an important thing for me.

I write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it's dark.
